The Little Wabash River was recorded at 31.86 feet today at 8 a.m. The river continues to slowly rise and is expected to crest at 31.9 feet, just under the 32 foot moderate flooding level, according to the National Weather Service.

Backwater behind Eckerle Park, which is always a good indication of the river levels, is nearing the top of Church Street. The river level is expected to stay just under moderate levels through Monday before receding.
